TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a new and distinct plant named Mrs.Grass Weedly characterized by a hybrid between Cannabis sativa L. ssp.sativa and Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) and relevant farmingsystems and methods.

BACKGROUND

Efficient, reliable, and consistent, computer-operated cannabis farmingsystems and methods are needed to meet the cannabis production demandsof society. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand forcannabis for medicinal and recreational use. Large-scale cannabisfarming systems must be designed carefully to minimize environmentalimpact, reduce manual labor and human interaction, and automate thesystem as much as possible while maximizing plant growth. These systemsmust be precisely sized and situated to be able to providesystematically timed and controlled computer-operated methods tomaintain a sufficient amount of water and nutrients for the cannabis ata precise temperature, humidity level, pH, oxygen and/or carbon dioxidelevel, air velocity, and light wavelength and schedule. A need existsfor cannabis farming facilities that maximize plant production on asmall physical outlay while providing adequate space for high-densityplant growth all at an economically attractive cost.

The ability to grow cannabis with minimal human interaction has beenlong regarded as desirable and needed to facilitate widespread use forhuman consumption and for the production of food. It is of importancethat large-scale, standardized, modular, easily manufacturable, energyefficient, reliable, computer-operated cannabis farming systems andfacilities are extensively deployed to produce cannabis for medicinaland recreation use with minimal water and environmental impact.

There is a need for cannabis farming facilities to employ systems andmethods that can clean and decontaminate water from harsh andunpredictable sources and provide a clean water source suitable to feedand grow cannabis. There is a need to re-use old containerized shippingcontainers to promote the implementation of widespread commercialproduction of cannabis to promote regional, rural, and urban jobopportunities that maximize the quality of living where the cannabis isfarmed.

There is a need for a superior blend of Cannabis sativa L. ssp. sativaand Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) that provides improvedmedicinal benefits, and has a high yield to meet industrial, commercial,recreational, and medicinal demand at a low price and minimal economicand environmental impact. There is a need for a new variety of plantthat has a repeatable, predictable, and unique chemical composition thatis based upon standardized engineered concentrations of: cannabidiol,tetrahydrocannabinol, energy, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, ash, volatiles,nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, sodium, potassium, iron, magnesium,phosphorous, calcium, zinc, cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, fat,fiber, protein, while having preferred specific Cannabis sativa L. ssp.sativa and Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) weight percentages.

Permits and Patent Licenses are Required for Growth of Mrs. Grass Weedlyin the United States of America and Internationally.

The claims and specification are in conformity with 37 CFR 1.163, thisspecification and especially claimed ranges of elements (a) through (x)and other elements of the claims contain as full and complete adisclosure as possible of the plant and the characteristics thereof thatdistinguish the same over related known varieties, and its antecedents,and particularly point out where and in what manner the variety of planthas been asexually reproduced. Further, in the case of this newly foundplant, this specification particularly points out the location andcharacter of the area where the plant was discovered. Applicant is basedout of Baltimore, Md., 21202.

The claims and specification are in conformity with 35 U.S.C. 1 12(a),since this specification and especially claimed ranges of elements (a)through (x) and other elements of the claims contain a writtendescription of the invention, and of the manner and process of makingand using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enableany person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it ismost nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth thebest mode contemplated by the inventor or joint inventor of carrying outthe invention.

Complete botanical description and the characteristics which distinguishover related known varieties are herein provided. The new varietydiffers from parents and related (similar) cultivars of Cannabis sativaL. ssp. sativa and Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.). The newvariety differs from parents and related (similar) cultivars becauseMrs. Grass Weedly has a precise and unique engineered concentrations of:cannabidiol, tetrahydrocannabinol, energy, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen,ash, volatiles, nitrogen, sulfur, chlorine, sodium, potassium, iron,magnesium, phosphorous, calcium, zinc, cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose,fat, fiber, protein, as well as specific Cannabis sativa L. ssp. sativaand Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) contents and ratios. The newplant differs from its parents and related cultivars because it isengineered to more effectively alleviate inflammation, manage pain,treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and digestive disorders,while also helping to prevent sleep disorders. It provides adequatestimulant to cure attention deficit disorder but does not so act as sucha stimulating drug to prevent normal sleep, dietary, and exercisepatterns. Because of this remarkable new plant, and combination ofingredients, individuals seeking to medicate with tetrahydrocannabinolcan now use this plant as medicine while having little-to-no sideeffects at all whatsoever and at a very low dosage compared to itsparents and related cultivars.

Applicant has specifically identified the characteristic of improvedmedicinal benefits through extensive trial and error and has a claimwhich is the result of quantifiable, experimental, and empirical datacharacterizing the difference between Mrs. Grass Weedly and Cannabissativa L. ssp. sativa or Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) alone.

Whereas the patents and cultivars possess 100 weight percent of each ofCannabis sativa L. ssp. sativa content and a Cannabis sativa L. ssp.indica (Lam.), applicant's research and development has resulted in anew and distinct plant that has an engineered amount of volatiles whilemixing Cannabis sativa L. ssp. sativa content and a Cannabis sativa L.ssp. indica (Lam.) at varying ratios to achieve a preferred cannabidiolcontent ranging from 0.000011 weight percent to 22.22 weight percent.Applicant has realized that the tetrahydrocannabinol ranging from 2weigh percent to 66 weigh percent is specifically tailored to maximizedosage while having a volatile content ranging from between 15 weightpercent to 88 weight percent. The combination of Mrs. Grass Weedlyhaving a volatiles content ranging from between 15 weight percent to 88weight percent together with the tetrahydrocannabinol ranging from 2weigh percent to 66 weigh percent provides a remarkable new plant.Because of this, a user can use less of the plant to achieve therequired dosage.

The application conforms to 37 CFR 1.163(a) since the specificationparticularly points out that Applicant is based out of Baltimore, Md.,USA in zip code 21202 which was the location that Applicant realizedthat he can take stem cuttings and asexually reproduce plants in amanner disclosed in this specification. This disclosure conforms to 37CFR 1.163(a) since the specification particularly points out thatBaltimore, Md., USA in zip code 21202, indoor propagation, growing, andcultivation were the location and character of the area where the plantwas discovered.

Applicant has generated the ranges of claimed ranges of elements (a)through (x) were discovered through comprehensive compositionalanalysis, particle-induced X-ray emission analysis, elemental analysis,proximate analysis, and ultimate analysis immediately available from avariety of different laboratories in the USA. Obtaining the appropriateranges of varying concentrations of Cannabis sativa L. ssp. sativa andCannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) were performed on a trial anderror basis. The tetrahydrocannabinol concentration is provided as ameasurement of Mrs. Grass Weedly's leaves, seeds, stems, roots, or anyreproductive structures on a dry basis.

The age and growing conditions of this plant shown in FIGS. 1-4 may be:adult plant of 14 weeks, average temperature 70 degrees F. to 80 degreesF., humidity 45 to 55 percent humidity, water pH from 5.15 to 6.75,water having an electrical conductivity ranging from 0.001 microsiemensto 100 microsiemens, an illumination on-off ratio ranging from between0.5 and 5 (the illumination on-off ratio is defined as the duration oftime when the lights are on and illuminate the cannabis in hours dividedby the subsequent duration of time when the lights are off and are notilluminating the cannabis in hours before the lights are turned onagain), a carbon dioxide concentration that is greater than 400 partsper million and less than 30,000 parts per million. LED lightingwavelength ranging from 400 nm to 700 nm, air velocity ranging from 5feet per second to 30 feet per second.

The parents of the instant plant are known and are comprised of Cannabissativa L. ssp. sativa X Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.). Seedsfrom either are commercially available from many vendors throughout theUSA. Applicant devised various plant hybrids of Cannabis sativa L. ssp.sativa X Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) to create a plant bestsuited to accommodate industrial, commercial, recreation and medicinalpopular demand.

The idea of a superior and precisely engineered composition thatembodies Mrs. Grass Weedly as described and disclosed herein wasdiscovered by the applicant's in his garden where the inventor wasasexually reproducing and cultivating many plants, in many differentcontainers, of many different species. Applicant's work with plants hasresulted in the discovery of a cross between Cannabis sativa L. ssp.sativa X Cannabis sativa L. ssp. indica (Lam.) described herein.Applicant has discovered that Mrs. Grass Weedly can be reproducedasexually, by taking cuttings of the plants of origin resulting in aremarkable new plant.
